About Us

Since 1998 the Children’s Dyslexia Center of Allentown has tutored over 183 children with dyslexia, a neurological disorder that makes it extremely difficult to read, write and spell. Most children participate in our 2 year program. In addition to tutoring Children, the Center also has trained over 60 scholar trainees using a multisensory, structured language program based on the Orton-Gillingham approach. Many people who take this training are teachers. These individuals then have a state-of-the-art approach to use in the local schools with their students. Both the student tutoring and the tutor training is provided free of charge.
